After iOS11 upgrade, what WebView (WebKit) is used for "Add to home screen" button from Safari (used to see apps in fullscreen)?
I know that in iOS 10, it was using UIWebView
.
Is it an upgrade for UIWebView
or is it replaced with WKWebView
?
I saw that in iOS 11, I don't have the problem with the 300 ms delay, but I have some problems with the orientation change.
Thank you
Based on the JavaScript test of this answer, Web Apps are getting displayed in a WKWebView
in iOS 11.
You can also validate this with the following code snippet:
function browserTest() {
var whatBrowser = document.getElementById("whatBrowser");
var lte9 = /Constructor/i.test(window.HTMLElement);
var nav = window.navigator, ua = nav.userAgent, idb = !!window.indexedDB;
var browserText = "Other Browser";
if (ua.indexOf('Safari') !== -1 && ua.indexOf('Version') !== -1 && !nav.standalone) {
browserText = "Safari";
} else if ((!idb && lte9) || !window.statusbar.visible) {
browserText = "UIWebView";
} else if ((window.webkit && window.webkit.messageHandlers) || !lte9 || idb) {
browserText = "WKWebView";
}
whatBrowser.innerHTML = browserText;
}
